Nice to see him get a standing ovation when he went off tonight. Think he's gradually winning the crowd over
Extra point for Simms for holding up Sakamoto’s shirt after his goal. Class.
Robins viveash and Lawrence are generally quite good at developing players , I remember robins taking vik out of the 1st team squad for a period and he came back and looked different.
Ellis has benefited from the way Robins has been using him ...I know supporters think the best way to develop is simply play through the dip in form and confidence but that's not always the case , he's getting much better now
If he had not scored last night he would probably have received some stick from some fans. You can't even score against a non league team stuff.I know the quality of opposition was poor but last night he looked like a proper number 9 for the first time. Used his strength well, clinical finishing and his touch and build up play were massively improved.

Think Simms has now scored 6 goals in his last 8 games.Could level that at 14 players TBF.
He has been much better for the last four or five matches, even since that late sub appearance when he defended really well. The improvement in his play is astonishing. He is far from the finished article but he is much more positive in his play. He is challenging for the ball when previously he wouldn't have done.I know the quality of opposition was poor but last night he looked like a proper number 9 for the first time.

Gonna carry us through on 25 this season!Next season is his year, calling it now he’ll be top scorer in a title charge where we’ll finish 2nd missing out on 1st by 1 point
Saw some of the game , 2.45am.ko for me , and he was chasing balls that he waa not favourite for and winning the ball. I think 2 months ago he would probably have missed all 3 chances that he scored from last night.He has been much better for the last four or five matches, even since that late sub appearance when he defended really well.

He was being encouraged to join in yesterdayGot a song, almost in double figures, when he gives it a proper celebration MvE style well know he’s there.
The second goal was most impressive - 4-6 weeks ago he would’ve left that for Wright. He just took the shot on his weaker foot and buried it.I know the quality of opposition was poor but last night he looked like a proper number 9 for the first time.

MvE and Tavares tried to convince him to join in with them and he politely declined. He wanted none of it.Got a song, almost in double figures, when he gives it a proper celebration MvE style well know he’s there.
Are you Mystic Meg?Next season is his year, calling it now he’ll be top scorer in a title charge where we’ll finish 2nd missing out on 1st by 1 point
He’s just a lot more reserved than the average footballer tends to be.MvE and Tavares tried to convince him to join in with them and he politely declined. He wanted none of it.
Seems like a very quiet guy but hopefully he's starting to feel settled so his ability can come to the fore. The holding up of Sakamoto's shirt is another sign of how he feels part of the team.
No Im Ellis Simms’ dadAre you Mystic Meg?
I'd actually prefer it if Simms and Wright were bellends tbh. Both seem a bit too nice. I want a Mitrovic type bastard up front who's not afraid to rough up a defender or throw his head near someone's boot to score a goal.Comes across as such a decent guy. All the new signings do TBH. Robins is so good at picking character.

Ellis had added plenty to his game. It has been noticeable that he puts a shift in and with the obvious growth in his confidence we are now starting to see a real player. His contribution is so much more than goals.
He didn't want to do the celebration that Milan does with the fans, even though Milan wanted him to join in.You can see on the City Unseen vid after the match when Simms is being interviewed,Palmer's trying to distract him & make him laugh but Simms is having none of it & Palmer just gives up & says something like 'He's being serious' - it's just the way Simms is
If he improves his first touch he will be dangerous
Its also quite hard to control something if it is cannoned at you like half the passes are at himPeople keep saying this about his first touch. Weren't his first two goals the other night possible because of a good first touch?
